Whitman College students tell their stories—about their unique experiences in choosing Whitman and being part of the Whitman community and what they love most. This is Gerry’s story.

Gerry Todd is a junior from Seattle, Washington, majoring in politics. He is also a standup comedian who thought it was time for a change after living life on the road. He applied to Whitman which has led him to experience things he never thought he would: the individual attention of his professors and a new appreciation for certain subjects. Gerry says if you’re someone who’s interested in what you’re learning, you’re definitely succeeding at Whitman.

The “Our Whitman, My Story” podcast is a collaboration between the Whitman College Office of Communication and author and podcaster John Moe ’90. To meet more of our talented students follow Whitman on social media.
